Fall 2015
2015 marks the 50th anniversary of Moore's law, which has described the exponential progress in semiconductor patterning technologies, enabling creation of smaller circuitry features at greater densities. These continued hardware developments, economically mass manufactured, have made possible...

Spring 2015
A multi-purpose settling column was designed to determine settling rate and sediment height allowing the in-situ measurement of yield stress and drainage without disturbing the sediment particle network. The settling column was applied to studying flocculation/densification of model oil sands...

Fall 2019
A novel nopoldiol-benzoxaborolate cross-link formed by a bioorthogonal click reaction between nopoldiol- and benzoxaborole-based components was developed for the preparation of biomaterials such as hydrogels and nanogels. In contrast to the traditional boronic ester-based cross-links, this...

Combination Radiation Therapy and Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus Therapy in Preclinical Models of Glioma
DownloadSpring 2017
Gliomas are the most common primary malignant brain tumour in adults, with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and most deadly form of glioma, making up over half of all diagnosed cancers in the brain/central nervous system. The standard of care for gliomas has remained unchanged for...

Biabangard Oskouyi, Amirhossein
In this thesis, a novel three-dimensional continuum percolation model based on Monte Carlo simulation approach was developed and employed to investigate the percolation behavior of the electrically insulating matrix reinforced with conductive nanoplatelet fillers such as graphene. The...

Spring 2014
Conversion of protein-rich biomass waste into value-added industrial products via chemical cross-linking reactions was explored. Two types of cross-linking reagents were investigated: dialdehydes and epoxy resins. Reaction chemistry was the main focus of this investigation and the main reaction...

Deletion of F4L (ribonucleotide reductase) in Vaccinia Virus Produces a Selective Oncolytic Virus and Promotes Anti-tumor Immunity with Superior Safety in Bladder Cancer
DownloadFall 2017
Overall recurrence of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) can be as high as 80% within 5 years of initial treatment. High-grade NMIBC has the greatest risk of recurrence and treatment for these patients includes surgery followed by intravesical therapy with the immunotherapeutic agent...

Delivery of STAT3 inhibitor cucurbitacins to tumor by polymeric nano-carriers : Implications in cancer chemo- and immunotherapy
DownloadFall 2009
Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3), a common oncogenic mediator, is constitutively activated in many types of human cancers and plays a critical role in tumor growth and cancer immune evasion. The focus of this dissertation is the delivery of STAT3 inhibitor cucurbitacins...
